    Good call from the camp not taking him to Menangle IMO, if anything can beat Beautide it won't be Smoken Up, the horse is a legendary warrior, a horse we would all love to have had or one that was even half as good, but there comes a time for all of us when our best is not in front of us but behind us.

    Superstar horse that should never be treated as anything but exactly that.

    cheers,
    Dan

    You only have to look at my sig to know I would not be knocking him Paul - was just trying to answer Brent's question and meaning he is not in Len Smith form (while of course very mindful of the good opposition he had at Kilmore )

    Totally agree Danno, regardless of fitness Len Smith with Beau, FAR etc not the place to be, unless he was guaranteed to lead and be a 1500m race...
    In the Sokyola from barrier 8 i see no chance of him winning at all. I hope i am wrong!

    I also can't see the champ winning from 8 draw.
    What a crap draw. What can he do? Drag right back in 1720m race.. I also hope I'm very wrong!!!

    He looked OK to me. Didn't think he was disappointing. 56 sumfin last 800 about as quick as they go around there on a cold night and the winner had beautiful sit on him.
